It’s been a tough year for Trea Turner during his first season with the Phillies. Despite Turner struggling both offensively and defensively, fans in Philadelphia pulled together to give their $300 million shortstop a standing ovation on Friday during the team’s clash against the Royals.
The act of kindness from fans at Citizens Bank Park did not go unnoticed by the 30-year-old, who responded with a heartwarming gesture of his own.
Making very clear that the standing ovation was well received, Turner bought a series of billboards across Philadelphia in order to thank the Phillies’ fanbase.
